1INTRODUCTION
1.1 Attention
Do not disassemble the device. If the device is
damaged, the power supply cables are not isolated or
the isolation is damaged, before unplugging the power
supply, do not touch the device.
All wireless data transferring devices produce
interference that may affect other devices which are
placed nearby.
The device must be connected only by qualified
personnel.
The device must be firmly fastened in the predefined
location.
The programming must be performed using a second
class PC (with autonomic power supply).
The device is susceptible to water and humidity.
Any installation and/or handling during a lightning
storm are prohibited.
FM5300 has USB interface;
Please use cables provided with FM5300 device.
Teltonika is not responsible for any harm caused by
using wrong cables for PC <-> FM5300 connection.
This sign on the packaging means that the electric and
electronic equipment to be utilized must be stored
separately.

1.2 Instructions of safety
This chapter contains information on how to operate FM5300 safely. By following these
requirements and recommendations, you will avoid dangerous situations. You must read these
instructions carefully and follow them strictly before operating the device!
To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the FM5300 device in an impact-
proof package. Before usage, the device should be placed so that its LED indicators are visible,
which show the status of operation the device is in.
When connecting the connection (2x10) cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of
the power supply of the vehicle should be disconnected.
Before dismounting the device from the vehicle, the 2x10 connection must be
disconnected.
The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible for
the operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of standard EN 60950-1.
The device FM5300 is not designed as a navigational device for boats.

2BASIC DESCRIPTION
FM5300 is a terminal with GPS and GSM connectivity, which is able to determine the
object’s coordinates and transfer them via the GSM network. This device is perfectly suitable for
applications, which need location acquirement of remote objects. It is important to mention that
FM5300 has additional inputs and outputs, which let you control and monitor other devices on
remote objects. FM5300 also has a USB port for device status log output and entering
configurations.

2.4 Technical Information about internal battery!
Ni-MH Rechargeable battery, 8.4V, 550 mA.
FM5300 operating time with internal backup battery depends on temperature, data
sending frequency (SMS and GPRS), and accumulator age, number of charge/discharge cycles.
For example:
In sleep mode a new FM5300 device, operating time approximately 15 hours
In deep sleep mode –137 hours
Operating time for a new FM5300 device, working in normal mode (records are
being acquired every 10 sec. and sent in packets of 4 records every 60 sec.), is
approximately 2 h 30 min.

Ext. Battery (+)
This pin is used connected with pin 10 (Ext. Battery (―)). The
function of these pins is to disconnect the internal accumulator during
shipment or storage. When pin 10 and pin 20 are connected, the
internal accumulator is on, while disconnected –the internal
accumulator is off.
3.6 USB
When FM5300 is connected to a PC it creates a STM Virtual COM Port, which can be used
as a system port (to flash firmware and configure the device).

4FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating firmware using USB cable
FM5300 functionality is always improving, new firmware versions are developed. Current
module firmware version can be retrieved from configurator. See configuration description for
details.
Contact sales manager to get the latest firmware.
Updater is needed to update the firmware. It can be downloaded from:
http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/FM53/
Firmware must to be copied to “Firmware updater”folder.
Connect FM5300 to PC with USB cable. Launch “Firmware Updater”, select COM port, click
connect and update. Update process may take up to several minutes.

5OPERATIONAL BASICS
5.1 Operational principles
FM5300 module is designed to acquire records and send them to server. Records contain
GPS and I/O information. Module uses GPS receiver to acquire GPS data and is powered with 3
data acquire methods: time-based, distance-based and angle-based. Method’s details are
described in Data Acquisition chapter 8. All data is stored in flash memory and later can be sent
via GPRS or SMS channels. GPRS mode is the most preferred data sending mode. SMS mode is
mostly used in areas without GPRS coverage or when GPRS usage is too expensive.
GPRS and SMS settings are described in chapters 6.3.1.2.1 and 6.3.1.2.3. FM5300
communicates with server using special data protocol. Data protocol is described in “FMXXXX
Protocols” document.
FM5300 can be managed by SMS commands (SMS Command list is described in SMS
Command List section) and GPRS commands (GPRS Command list is described in GPRS Command
List section). Module configuration can be performed over TCP or via SMS. Configuration
parameters and modes are described in “FMXXXX Protocols” document.
5.2 Operational Modes
FM5300 is designed to operate in two different modes: Normal Mode and Deep Sleep
Mode (Standby mode). Normal Mode means that FM5300 is fully functional and performs all the
functionality mentioned above in Operational principals section.
Deep Sleep Mode is designed to dramatically reduce power consumption. It is a separate
mode and certain conditions must be fulfilled to switch from Normal operation and enter this
mode. Detailed information about how FM5300 enters/exits Deep Sleep Mode and what
functions does FM5300 perform while in this mode can be found in chapter 9.
5.3 Accelerometer
FM5300 has a built in 3 axis accelerometer which allows the device to indicate if vehicle is
moving or not, as well as measure acceleration. Accelerometer sensitivity can be configured –it
has 2 configurable global parameters: start and stop timeouts that define time intervals in
seconds. To indicate that a vehicle is moving, FM5300 constantly (in frequency of 10 Hz) checks
for g force change on X, Y and Z axes. If measured g force keeps exceeding the set limit (it is not
configurable) for defined time interval in “Movement Filter Start” field (Figure 10), then the
vehicle is considered as moving. Same settings for idle indication apply –if g force change is less
than the set limit for time interval defined in “Movement Filter Stop” field then the vehicle is
considered as idle (not moving).
Example for default parameters: Movement Filter Start = 1 and Movement Filter Stop = 30
means that movement will be detected after 1 second and stop will be detected after 30 seconds
of inactivity.

5.4 Virtual Odometer
Virtual odometer is used to calculate travelled distance in FM5300 as a separate I/O
element. When FM5300 detects movement, it starts counting distance using GPS signal: every
second it checks current location and calculates distance between current and previous point. It
keeps adding these intervals until it is time to make a record, then FM5300 records its location
and adds odometer value, which is equal to the sum of all distances, measured every second.
When record is made, odometer resets to zero and distance calculation starts all over again.
Virtual odometer as an I/O element can be also used with Trip feature, read chapter 0.
5.5 Voice Functionality
FM5300 has functionality to receive and make voice calls. To enable this functionality a
telephone handset with electret microphone and RJ-11 connector must be connected to “Audio”
port.
In “Global Parameters”, “Call Settings” section (Figure 10) there are four parameters: “Call
number”, “Call trigger”, “Ringtone”, and “Auto answer”. To initiate a call an appropriate digital
input has to be selected as a “Call Trigger”. To trigger the call selected input has to be connected
to the ground. When the call is triggered, FM5300 dials the number which is defined in “Call
Number” field. To initiate a call to FM5300 dial a number of the SIM card that is inserted in
FM5300. When FM5300 has an incoming call it can play a selected tone from the “Ringtone” list.
FM5300 will auto answer the call after number of rings defined in “Auto answer” field.
“Voice Settings” (Figure 10) section includes settings for “Microphone level” to regulate
microphone sensitivity and “Speaker level” to define how loud will be the speaker.
